What am I destined to be?

I saw this kid sitting in some thoughts when I crossed him. I had no intentions to click him, as I did not want to disturb him. But after some few moments when I crossed him again I found him looking at his hands as if studying the lines on his hands - giving me a feeling he was wondering where and what he is destined to be? Perhaps looking at his fate/luck lines? And that was the moment when I clicked a candid moment of him.

After clicking this one, he became aware of my presence, but still he did not react and I found him going further deep in thoughts. There was a bit of sadness in him. I wish I had the courage and also some good grasp on local dialect to be able to talk to him, but I had none and simply walked away feeling sad about him.

Though the situation is very different, but I still am not sure, where to draw the line? Perhaps one should leave people in their world, not disturb them and project them is the right thing to do. In that case, I would withdraw this post. Let me know what you think.

Some thoughts on the same topic by a fellow (and moderator) BPCian here: Where should one draw a line?
